Philadelphia Grand Fete in septembar

The progress made by the Commission in ar
ranging the details, and the remarkable unanmi
ty with which the different State Governments
have responded to invitations participate in the
celebration of the one hundredth birthday of the
American Constitution, leaves not the slightest
room for doubt that the demonstration will be the
largest and most imposing event ever held on
American soil, barring only the great celebration
of 1876. The grand trades and industrial process
sion of September 18th will be epitome of our
industrial progress in one hundred years. It will
comprehend all branches of industry, and in many
instances the advancement of particular branches
will be demonstrated by working models of the
| old contrasted with the new way. Requests for
assignment to positions in the line pouring in
on the Chief Marshal from every field of industry
| in various parts of the country.
The military demonstration of the 10th will also
be most interesting and brilliant feature Fifteen
thousand troops of the various States besides de-
tachments of marines and regulars, will be present
and participate. A most striking feature of the
parade will be the contrast offered by the RevOlu
tionary soldier side by side with the guardsmen Of
to-day. The North Atlantic squadron will anchor
| in the Delaware for the occasion, and grand
naval pageant will form part of the spectacular
| ceremonies.
The principal event OF the 18th will be the COM
| memoratve exercises to be presided over by the
President of the United States, and addressed by
| a Justice of the Supreme Court. The President
and his Cabinet, the representatives of foreign
| governments at Washington, the governors of the
States, and distinguished people from all parts Of
the land will be present during the celebration
In addition to the events mentioned large mum.
Der of other entertainments, public receptions, and
special features, will serve to make the three days
the most brilliant and interesting ever known in
the history of the Quaker City.

Ng-The campaign has not yet fairly opened in
Baltimore. county, but the scandal-mongers are
already at work and outrageous stories are being
circulated, involving the personal characters of
some of the candidates. One has been charged
with being a confirmed drunkard another is
said to keep disreputable house near the city /;
another is charged with being SO ignorant that he
can neither read nor write, and SO on. Now it
hardly necessary to say that there is not the
slightest foundation for any of these stories, but
common justice to those who are being thus SLAM
dered demands that some notice be taken of them.
Any man who expects to gain point-political
or otherwise-by uttering vile ISLANDERS against
the personal character of his neighbor, is vii
lain and does not deserve to be countenanced by
honest men. It has been said that "anything is
fair in politics" but we must dissent from this.
A mans public record is public property and he
must be willing to be tried by it, but when bare
faced lies, involving himself and his family, are
circulated with view to injure him in the es-
timaton of his fellow-citizens, it is time to call
halt and every honorable man should put his seal
of condemnation upon such outrages. Any po-
litcal party that expects to win by smirching the
characters of respectable men, deserves to be
buried so deep thatit will never be heard of again.

g&>The Democratic press of Maryland is al
ready pouring out its wrath against Mr.. John K
Cowen for the position he has taken in the present
State campaign and nothing that can be said of
him is bad enough. But this will not trouble Mr.
Cowen in the least and he will 60 right along in
the fight in which he has engaged with SO much
vim, and will make it warm for some of his adver-
saries before he gets through with them. And he
does not stand alone in this "new departure" but
will have the assistance of such men as S. Teackle
Wallis, Charles Marshall and others, who appear
eager for the fray. The present promises to be
one of the hottest campaigns this State has ex-
perienced in some years and every inch of ground
will be fought with vigor. There is great deal
of dissatisfaction in the Democratic party on ac-
count of boss rule in State politics. and it will not
be surprising to see large body of the voters of
that party coming over to the support of the Re-
publican ticket, which, it is admitted on all sides,
is an unusually strong one.

@s-Hon S. Teackle Wallis, speaking of the
Republican nominee for Governor, says: "I will
cordially support Mr.. Brooks. I hope every Re-
form Democrat will support him, as the only way
of defeating the ring is to defeat the candidates
they nominate, whenever the Republicans give us
the chance to do so by nominating good men for
whom we can vote with confidence in State and
municipal elections. If Mr.. Brooks accepts,
Governs movement will be great success, as il
certainly was brilliant and gallant"

gresham Gibson, of Maryland, was asked his
opinion of the Republican ticket in this State
when he said: "I do not know Mr.. Brooks, mol
am I acquainted with Mr.. Francis Miller except
by reputation. I am acquainted with Mr.. Dixon
whose residence is near mine. If the other two
candidates are as well qualified for the positions

better stronger Republican ticket could be found

s- The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
adopted plan for heating its passenger coaches
with steam, which will likely be put into general
use this fall. Experiments have been made show
ing that train of eight cars can be sufficiently
heated with four or Eve pounds pressure of steam.
The Pennsylvania Company is always ahead in
matters of this kind. It is one of the finest and
best managed railroads in the world.

Ga-A good many of the leading Democratic
newspapers outside of Maryland are pouring hot
shot into the Democratic leaders or bosses in this

in politics is being wide spread, leading Dem.

There has been much talk here the past
week about the position of Col. Walter S. Frank
lin, of the 9Th district, in the present campaign
Those who favor the Independent Democratic
movement declare that his sympathies are with
them and that he may take the nomination for
Senator on their ticket, while the regulars assert
very positively that the Colonel is for the straight
ticket and that he has no utilization or sympathy
with the Independents. Col. Franklin is the only
man who can settle this question and he will have
to stand up and answer for himself. We incline
to the opinion that the Colonel takes his straight

REPUBLICAN VOTE in BALTIC. COUNTY

WooDBERRY, Oct. 9th, 1887.
Messrs. Longnecker Bros.-Will you oblige me
by answering through the columns of your paper
what is the largest vote ever given the Republi-
can ticket in Baltimore county, and who among
the candidates received the greatest number Of
votes? Yours respectfully, E..
lin reply to the above inquiry we answer that
it has been so many years since Republican
ticket was in the field in Baltimore county that
polled anything near the full party vote that il
would hardly be fair at this time to quote the
figures, and therefore we prefer to give the vote
at the last two Presidential elections as aproxi-
mating nearer the strength of the party in the
county. In 1880 Garfeld's vote was 534S, and
in 1884 Blaine's was 6,266.1

Mr.. Walter B. Brooks, the Republican
nominee for Governor, is citizen of Baltimore
county and business man who stands at the head
OF the list. He is a thorough Republican, but he
is not a politician in any sense of the word and
has already promised that should he be elected he
will'not discharge his duties from partisan point
OF view. The people want such Governor and
now they have chance to elect one. If they will
DO it they can rest assured that they will have a
business Executive and one who will be a credit
to the whole State.
